Hi All

I have been using knockoff polyimide film that I had bought it from eBay and I want to buy genuine Kapton polyimide film by DuPont to feel the difference.

On amazon can I find a competitive price ?

Thanks

Are you based in Canada or the states? My previous employer, RP electronics carried an offbrand polyamide that was basically indistinguishable from the 3m stuff (which we used to carry, but nobody would buy it because the other stuff was just as good and about 1/3d the price).

DuPont made the film, but 3M made the adhesive. It was branded 3M, though.
